With the Tamil Nadu Assembly election looming, political activities have surged in the state. Prime Minister Narendra Modi is set to visit Tiruchirappalli to attend a National Democratic Alliance (NDA) public meeting at Panchapur and unveil significant development projects. Earlier in the day, he will engage in official duties in Kochi, Kerala, before heading to Tiruchirappalli.
Upon arrival, the Prime Minister will be transported by helicopter to Panchapur, where various infrastructure projects worth around ₹5,650 crore will be inaugurated, dedicated, and initiated. Notable among these projects is the foundation stone laying for Bharat Petroleum Corporation Limited’s City Gas Distribution Network in Nilgiris and Erode districts, with an investment of ₹3,680 crore.
Furthermore, Prime Minister Modi will launch a lubricant oil manufacturing plant of Indian Oil Corporation in Chennai, constructed at a cost of ₹1,490 crore. He will also kick off 89 rural road projects under the Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana in Tamil Nadu, covering approximately 370 kilometers. Additionally, a significant project to be unveiled is the foundation stone laying for the Greenfield bypass near Gangaikonda Cholapuram on National Highway 81.
Following the official event, the Prime Minister will address the NDA’s public meeting at a specially arranged venue in Panchapur. The rally, expected to draw nearly seven lakh attendees, will feature several NDA leaders, including AIADMK General Secretary Edappadi K. Palaniswami and PMK leader Anbumani Ramadoss, among others. This event is anticipated to pave the way for the NDA’s seat-sharing agreement in the state as the Assembly election schedule nears.
